Twin Who Survived Abortion Shares Her Amazing Story<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cMy birth mother was 13 years old at the time she became pregnant with me. Her mother took her straight to an abortion clinic where she had a surgical abortion. After thinking she had \u201cfixed the problem,\u201d a few weeks later she realized her belly was still growing. Her mother took her back to the abortion clinic where she learned that she had been pregnant with twins,\u201d Culwell recalls. \u201cOne was aborted; one survived.\u201d<\/p>\n
Culwell says she can\u2019t imagine not sharing her story with others.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy life is a miracle and I would be selfish to keep this gift of life to myself,\u201d she says. \u201cI want to tell everyone what a gift I and even they have been given!! I want to encourage them to seek alternatives to abortion because I would never want any woman\/man to go through the grief and the pain that my birth mother went through simply because she didn\u2019t know she had any other option.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI also want to be a vessel to offer God\u2019s forgiveness to the men and women who have previously had abortions. I know healing is possible and I have been given the gift of surviving an abortion so that I can tell these men and women that they are forgiven\u2026coming from an aborted child, I hope they know the power of forgiveness and healing through meeting me,\u201d Culwell continues.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy life is a testimony that there are wonderful alternatives to abortion (such as adoption in my case) and an accidental\/unwanted child still deserves life\u2026even a child with disabilities,\u201d she says. \u201cI was born 2 1\/2 months early, weighed 3 lbs 2 oz, had dislocated hips and club feet. I had to wear casts on my feet, a harness and eventually a body cast. The abortion still affects me today.\u201d<\/p>\n
That said, Culwell makes it clear, \u201cLife is still worth it!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
